Photosynthesis An overview
Photosynthesis + H2O CO2 Energy ATP and NADPH2 Which splits water Light is Adsorbed By Chlorophyll Calvin Cycle ADP NADP Chloroplast Used Energy and is recycled. O2 + C6H12O6 Light Reaction Dark Reaction
Needs: Light Water ADP NADP Pigments Thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast Products ATP NADPH oxygen Light Dependent Reaction
The Process Chlorophyll and other pigments take in light and H2O. They strip off the protons and release Oxygen. The H+ (protons) are used to turn ADP into ATP. The electrons are used to turn NADP into NADPH
Light Independent Reactions • Process • C o2 enters the stomates of the leaf and the stroma of the chloroplast • It binds with RuBP using Rubisco enzyme to make PGAL. • Energy comes from ATP and NADPH • PGAL combines with more carbon to make sugar
